Ties are making a comeback in many fashionable circles with the cream of London's grime scene such as Chipmunk and Dizzee Rascal recently being seen in suits, ties and even pork pie hats.

As this return to the traditional tie grows in popularity we now hear that many UK schools are banning the wearing of real ties in favour of clip-on ties for 'health and safety' reasons.

Many pupils are angry at having to wear these imitation and style free ties and some have even started online petitions to stop schools insisting that only clip-on ties can be worn.

Some are wondering how schoolboys and girls and salary men everywhere have managed to get by without being strangled by their ties and if there is anywhere to be found an official piece of advice from the health & safety executive to replace traditional ties with clip-ons.

Meanwhile until all ties are banned practice your Windsor knot don your suit, hat and diamond rings and shimmy on down with Chipmunk.
